What Next After Meeting Jesus

These past months I've been fighting a battle centered on living with unbelievers. Colossians 4:6 NLT "Let your conversation be gracious and attractive so that you will have the right response for everyone." Actually, it all started when I started to live off campus. I must tell you, the world is seriously Antichrist, like nothing in the world favors one's walk with God. For example, where I live, people talk sexual without decency. I don't even know how to explain myself, as in, for every statement anyone here makes, there's a sexual interpretation to it. Initially, I used to feel so out of place, but later on, I became accustomed, kind of like it doesn't bother me that much anymore (which of course shouldn't be). Another example that really shook me is that of a neighbor that I was supposedly "dating". What actually happened was that, we became friends by virtue of my niceness. And before I knew it, we were tagged a "couple...

For the most times when the Israelites had run into trouble, the cause of their misfortune had been that they had failed in holding unto their ends of the bargain with God. What I'm saying is that, for each of the time the Israelites were overcome by their enemies, they had ignored, treated with contempt, the commandments God had given to them. Relating this act of the Israelites with our own recent times now, it is obvious that most of us Christians are also not holding unto our part of the deal. 1 Samuel 13:14-15 NLT "Now if you fear and worship the LORD and listen to His voice, and if you do not rebel against the LORD'S commands, then both you and your king will show that you recognize the LORD as your God. But if you rebel against the LORD'S commands and refuse to obey him, then His hand will be as heavy upon you as it was upon your ancestors." Romans 6:12-13 NLT "Do not let sin control the way you live, do not give in to sinful desires. Do not l...

At some points in our lives, we have some random persons come in to us as "friends". By random, I mean, they are just people we really can't categorically call "friends". Psalm 1:1 "Blessed [is] the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful." A few months back, this random person came into my life by virtue of kindness. Initially, I thought that on the long run, I should be able to draw this person closer to Christ. But funny enough, the reverse seemed to be the case. This person made me tolerate those things that I would normally not allow, and tried to lure me into the world of sin. It became so hard to let go of this person, but thank God for God, he's always saving his own. I think the problem with most of us is that, we tend to ignore the warning signals that friendship with these set of people presents, and we b...

This is the seveenteeth day of the year 2017, and I'm sure a number of us have already spelt out our goals (and resolutions) for the year. Hab 2:2 "And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make [it] plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it." However, why do you think your goals of 2016 were all not achieved? Well, it's simple, it probably because you haven't yet discovered the secrets of goals. I read a book "Goals", two years ago, that by the Holy Spirit taught me the secrets of achieving a goal. So, now, I'd give briefs on the secrets that would help make your 2017 goals much more achievable. 1. Your goals should be SMART, which literally means, "specific", "measurable", "achievable", "realistic", and "timely". An illustration that quickly summarizes this is, "sowing and reaping". When you plant a seed, you are specific about the kind of seed you're...

I'm super excited right now, wanna know why? Jesus is the reason. Within the periods that I went on break here, a whole lot has happened to me, and I'm very much eager to share. I'd be doing a weekly post, starting next week Monday to tell everything God has taught me. I've really missed being here! Oh! I almost forgot, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! wow!  Thank God we made it. I love you all.  **hugs and kisses ** Shalom.
